The Barbados Advocate... The Island's Leading News paper

While growing up the Barbados Advocate was the newspaper of choice in our house... after all my parents were devout readers of this historic newspaper.

This was understandable with Barbadians of that generation since the Advocate had serve the island well having been established in 1895.

However with the establishment of the Nation newspaper in 1973 the Advocate has been overtaken in popularity by the Nation news.

So much so that over the last 25 years the nation has become the source most Bajans even my parents generation turn to for the news.

Although I must admit that there still is a special place in my heart for the Barbados Advocate for surviving over 100 years of news publishing on the island...

And to be honest the Advocate really has come a long way in its presentation and format.
